U.S. develops 14-ton super bomb, bigger than Russian vacuum bomb



WASHINGTON, September 13 (RIA Novosti) - The U.S. has a 14-ton super bomb more destructive than the vacuum bomb just tested by Russia, a U.S. general said Wednesday.

The statement was made by retired Lt. General McInerney, chairman of the Iran Policy Committee, and former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

McInerney said the U.S. has "a new massive ordnance penetrator that's 30,000 pounds, that really penetrates ... Ahmadinejad has nothing in Iran that we can't penetrate."

He also said the new Russian bomb was not a "penetrator."

On Tuesday, the Fox News television channel said: "A recent decision by German officials to withhold support for any new sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on the Islamic regime.".

Commenting on the report, McInerney said: "Since Germany has backed out of helping economically, we do not have any other choice. ... They've forced us into the military option."

McInerney described some possible military campaign scenarios and said: "The one I favor the most, of course, is an air campaign," he continued.

He said that bombing would be launched by 65-70 stealth bombers and 400 bombers of other types.

"Forty-eight hours duration, hitting 2500 aimed points to take out their [Iranian] nuclear facilities, their air defense facilities, their air force, their navy, their Shahab-3 retaliatory missiles, and finally their command and control. And then let the Iranian people take their country back," the general said describing the campaign, adding it would be "easy."

McInerney is well-known among the U.S. conservatives. He is the chairman of the Iran Policy Committee co-chaired by James Woolsey, former CIA director, William A. Nitze, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Richard Schifter, former Assistant Secretary of State, and Professor Raymond Tanter, former Personal Representative of the Secretary of Defense to arms control talks in Europe.

The McInerney statement was made following a Fox News report that U.S. "officials are making plans to attack Iran as early as next summer," since Washington believes diplomatic efforts have failed.

Sounds like we just want to bomb the shit out of them

In a surrealist year
..........................of sandwichmen and sunbathers
.............................dead sunflowers and live telephones
...........house-broken politicos with party whips
...........performed as usual
...........in the rings of their sawdust circuses
...........where tumblers and human cannonballs
.............................................filled the air like cries
........................when some cool clown
.......................................pressed an inedible mushroom button
...and an inaudible Sunday bomb
...............................................fell down
catching the president at his prayers
.................................................. .on the 19th green

.....O it was a spring
.............................of fur leaves and cobalt flowers
....when cadillacs fell thru the trees like rain
...............drowning the meadows with madness
while out of every imitation cloud
.................................dropped myriad wingless crowds
..............................................of nutless nagasaki survivors
..............And lost teacups
..............full of our ashes
..............floated by

Arms race part deux.

This time, they're not hindered by the ramifications of radioactive fallout.

Iran deserves to be bombed more so than Iraq ever did.

Irans president has numerously said that the US was bluffing and would be making a huge mistake to ever try and fuck with Iran.

Dem fighting words.

Id strongly support a 48-72 hour bombing raid of Iran where we send no ground troops and completely disrupt the current regime.

[Chaohinon]

Oh yes, let's carpet bomb a sovereign country. It's not like any of their citizens or politicians oppose Ahmadinejad.

Please.

[KingPins]

I think thats the whole point behind bombing them, is to invoke a new regime and to give the people and the opposing politicans a chance to overrun the govt.

every day that passes the greater it looks like the 2012 prophecy will be fulfilled

Look at the Mayan calender

[KingPins]

I dont think that's what he's talking about. hes brought it up before, and i think he said something about the alignment of the earth, sun, and moon will go to such a position that only happens every 26,000 years.. i could be wrong though, i have a terrible pot head memory.

I say bomb em till they glow!!They have been a thorn in our side for to long and have been our enemy for years.they should have been the real target instead of Iraq.Not a popular opinion Im sure but im sick to death of this.Iran can not be allowed to have nuclear capability's.Unlike Iraq Its a fact thier building them.its also a fact that they are sending weapons and men into Iraq.making it even harder for us to pull out.we need to hit them world war 2 style and show em we are sick to death of this crap.no more stoping when they hide in a village no more giving them placecs to run.no quarter..surrender or die.That would end this war quick,and get our boys home!!

[Rasta_Man]

Are we really bringing the Mayan Calendar nonsense into this?

I've throughly debunked it. Just do a search.

Iraq did not deserve to be bombed, all you did was kill civilians. Day one of shock and awe saw no bomb hit its target and the majority of dropped bombs resulted in civilian causalities. The brave American army, killing innocents since the 1700's.

Yeah, sorry, that will not happen. Kinda funny how you have to strike from afar against opponents who cannot hope to defend themselves against the attack. It is kinda like that Bully in grade five, who would go beat up on the kids in kindergarten.

If the American's would have left Iran alone to deal with its own issues itself, you probably would not have this problem today. Instead, you overthrow a democratically elected official, put a dictator in his place who eventually gets kicked out by an Islamic radical. I think the US should stay home and stop getting involved in world politics. That would probably be one of the best things that could happen to this planet today.

Bomb them because they do not agree with you? I would be your enemy too if you wandered into my country, overthrew the guy I elected, installed a person who was a tyrant, and generally thought you owned the place. The Untied States of Amnesia. You never seem to remember what you did in the past, and when people get pissed at you, you stand around in shock and shout "Hey! But we are the good guys here!".

lol, it would not end the war quickly. Going into Iran would be like another Iraq. A war you cannot win. Because they will rise up and continue to fight, bomb you in the streets. If someone invaded the US would you sit at home, or would you do exactly what the insurgents in Iraq are doing now? Ask yourself that question and stop believing the media hype. I mean, your attack against Iraq has strengthened your terrorist enemies, what do you think an attack against Iran will do? Take a look at the world and stop believing the nonsense propaganda you are fed to make you think you are some kind of force for good in this world, you are not, this has been proven time and time again.
